Overview

Small Giants by Brazilian artist Alex Senna was brought to life by Graphite Design + Build in Toledo. Located at Wendy Park, the two 10-foot-tall sculptures capture the essence of childhood emotions and wonder. The sculptures are positioned uniquely: the boy looks out towards the city, and the girl gazes at Lake Erie, symbolizing a connection between urban life and natural beauty.

These sculptures were installed in July 2024 and will be displayed at Wendy Park for a year.

Special thanks to our partner, Cleveland Metroparks for providing a beautiful space for these sculptures.

About the Art

Small Giants brings Alex’s artwork from the walls into the three-dimensional realm. The artwork consists of two larger-than-life sculptures (10’ tall) representing two children sitting next to each other. Part of Alex Senna’s work has to do with small sensations and feelings. When we are children, our problems, which are sometimes small, become big problems. The idea in Alex’s Small Giants is to reveal these little gestures. The two sculptures of children will make us wonder what is between them.
